Did you have your surgery already? Are you on the mend? I haven't been playing at all this year because I've been really busy with school (I used to at least play during my lunch) but hopefully I'll get back in the groove soon. I'm stalled at beginner level, but oh well. I still have fun. Hope you're doing well.

Aloha Kurt,
Yes yes...the fireworks was banned here from all the sparklers and stuff...you only could get a 5000 firecracker permit for 25.00... it was really
a quiet night..you would have guessed it was New Years...but at 5 to midnight ten minuetes ago...hell broke loose and everybody lit up their stash
black market fireworks..it lasted for 15 minuetes... he he... why do they make laws they have no control of is way beyond me...Yes I hope you
had a Happy New Years nite with your family too...Your friend, Stan Talk to you soon..... Yes me too...every morning I get up I cherish on this
earth...Have a Great day buddy.....may 2012 be a great year for all of us in every way.....and remember the ones we lost last year and the past.

Hi Kurt,
I agree with you about not wanting to connect anywhere via Facebook. I have a FB page, but I post almost nothing on it. I read political blogs and sometimes I have pithy comments to add, but I won't do so if it involves registering via FB.

It must be the caffeine that keeps your mind clear. I should drink more coffee.

Really glad I got to meet you. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer but I promised my son I would be home in time to read to him before bedtime (I'm obsessed, but I still have priorities ). Maybe on your next trip out we can organize a UU get together or meet up to play like you said. Hopefully by then I'll have some tunes under my belt. Have a safe trip home. If you're not flying out until night time on Saturday and you're not too busy there's an event at the Wesley Methodist Church in Japantown (Aki-matsuri - Fall Festival) and Rodney Takahashi of Ukulele Jams will be playing along with his students. I'm not sure when it starts, you'd have to google it. Anyhow, have a safe trip home and I'll talk to you in threads.
